43.22 is what percent of 2500 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 2500 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 2500, so we can write it down as 100%=2500.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2500
2) x%=43.22
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=2500/43.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.22 is what percent of 2500

100%/x%=2500/43.22
(100/x)*x=(2500/43.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=57.843590930125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (57.843590930125) to get x
100/57.843590930125=x
1.7288=x
x=1.7288

now we have:
43.22 is 1.7288% of 2500
